    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    Myself, I would much prefer to buy it un-assembled. One you can inspect what you are getting. No one can blow smoke. Two I can easily change cam, port heads, or do anything I like. You assemble...

    Dang! I had to look that word up. :LOL: Not the first time I heard it, but its been so long I pretty much forgot it existed. But then again, I have forgotten more than I remember.

    Take a look at how much room there is between the engine and the car, especially on the sides. Also use some silly putty roll up about an inch diameter at maybe 3" long and put them around the air...

    The flatter the torque curve (the closer the torque is to a flat line) over say 2500 to 5500 rpm, the more predictable and therefore the easier the car is to handle. If all you're interested in is...

    Hauss, I doubt leaving air in the tank is an issue, other than the moisture concern. Well it does push on the check valve(s) that prevent(s) the air from blowing back though the compressor. ...
